Ailsa’s photos of soft things are excellent pieces of photography. She found something soft that’s normally scratchy and hard-edged: grass. You must see it: http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/11/09/travel-theme-soft/
I, too, found a photo of something soft in a hard place.
Finding a soft thing in a blokey shed is rare. When we found this possum curled up on top of an old wardrobe cum tool cupboard, we tempted him with his favourite food, fruit, and he kindly sat up and took the piece of apple for our photographic benefit. My husband took this excellent shot.
I have to confess that though his fur looks soft, I can’t confirm it. Possums are vicious; it’s wise to put the piece of fruit in front of the cute ball of fur and quickly withdraw your hand.
Great photo – and you can see in his eyes that he’s watching you, ready to attack if he feels threatened! So as soft as he looks, you were clearly wise to keep your distance. 😉
Beautiful pic for the theme, Trish. 🙂
AAwwww I didn´t know they were vicious! They look like little cuties 🙂
He looks like trouble! He just might visit again for more tasty treats…
Yes, we keep our eyes on each other! Thanks for the compliment.
Or he just might help himself to my parsley and petunias and strawberries.
Glad you liked it!
Occasionally if they are familiar with people, eg in some tourist resorts, they don’t mind being touched gently. As long as it’s brief!
Cute isn’t always want its cracked up to be. :-).
No, you’re right. You can see his cute claws…
Deceptive is what cute can be at times…
Yeah his cuteness is deceptive. He doesn’t mind us watching him eat, but touching brings out the animal in him.
He’s a male…no more need be said.
